Why should you register a Delegate*? Delegate registration within Skelpy enables you access to forge SKP coins. By registering a delegate name you lock this information into Skelpy, this is the Delegate Proof of Stake part of Skelpy. Think of it as a place holder and address for your Skelpy Node. With a delegate name registered you now have the ability to setup a Forging node, and create new Skelpy tokens while securing the Skelpy network.
Delegate Registration on the Skelpy blockchain costs 25 SKP. These tokens are a simple monetary failsafe to prevent some delegate registration spam.
